Plymouth kitchen remodel with maple and graphite painted cabinetry

Key Features

  • Character Stain Cabinetry: ‘Montana’ by Showplace Cabinetry creates a rich, semi-translucent finish that highlights the natural variation and grain of the maple wood.
  • Coffee Station: Pocket doors open to reveal a dedicated beverage station with convenient concealed storage.
  • Paneled Wine Cooler & Ice Maker: Integrated into the bar area for a seamless, furniture-like appearance.
  • Full-Height Quartz Backsplash: Symphony ‘Carmen’ quartz adds elegance with the look of natural stone and the durability of quartz.
  • Statement Wood Range Hood: A modern slatted box-style hood in a dramatic graphite finish coordinates with the island cabinetry.

Design Insight

This first-floor remodel was designed to create a connected, elevated living experience while still feeling warm and inviting. Updating the kitchen, entertainment center, fireplace, and half bath together allowed the entire space to flow seamlessly from one area to the next.

A thoughtful mix of stained maple and painted cabinetry brings both richness and contrast, while hidden functional elements – like integrated appliances and a tucked-away coffee station – keep the space feeling clean and intentional. The quartz used throughout adds a cohesive, high-end touch, tying each area together in a way that feels both polished and livable.
